When Sartorial Splendor Meets Iconic Design: Why KITON x Cassina Stole Milan Design Week

Over the years, I’ve cultivated a deep and enduring relationship with KITON, having visited their factory in Naples, Italy countless times to report on what is universally regarded as the pinnacle of sartorial and bespoke menswear. Each visit reveals an unwavering commitment to excellence—where generations of artisans devote themselves to the meticulous process of tailoring garments entirely by hand. The name KITON, derived from the ancient Greek “chiton,” reflects the brand’s philosophical roots in elegance, intellect, and timeless design. With its dedication to the finest materials and precise craftsmanship, KITON has long set the global standard in luxury menswear. Now, as the brand expands its vision into the world of furniture through a dynamic partnership with Cassina, I am genuinely enthusiastic to witness how this next chapter will evolve—bringing the brand’s legacy of refinement and comfort into the very spaces we inhabit.
